The adjustability and self tending would give a complete picture of the hitch. Nice job!!!

It came about eventually when exploring a way to not have preformed eyes, something similar to the Hitch Hiker attachment method. The cord ends were threaded through the holes then an overhand is tied, middle, left in the picture. After a few versions it occurrred to me just a stopper knot in...

It’s spelled Ysatsce for both the single and double eye versions. Playing with making the eye, it morphed into a loop hitch by bringing the ends together for a stopper. Placing the knot at the top unclutters the carabiner.

I didn’t make it clear I was referring to the Esctasy, which I found was the inverse of the double eye hitch that came about from exploring what could be made by starting with a half hitch around the rope for a single eye hitch. I haven’t looked at the single eye hitch you referenced yet...

I came up with something similar a couple nights ago while working on a single eye hitch that self tends. Starts with a half hitch, yours starts the wraps from the bottom and go up, mine goes straight up, and wraps down. Found that either end works as the eye, both self tend, and when used as...

Sherrill, TS, Bishops, and Sterling Ropes are all owned by the same firm. Possibly they don’t want to have to deal with rope by the foot. They seem to only carry top selling items anymore, I don’t visit their arborists sites anymore.

I was wrong about the Knotorious, the two are related though.

I went back through the thread a bit and tried out most of the hitches. After a little testing I would rate them thus, there are 7 that are okay, grip and slide, but little else: Gravity, Blizzard, Velocity, Divergent, Endurance 1&2, and the one in post #75. 4 would grip, slide, and self tend...

The thinner the cover the easier it is, a few stitches secures it. The Phoenix has a twisted parallel strands core, unlike the hollow braided of most, I used a 6mm Vectran core for the above.

Another option is to pull the end into itself.

The Tendon Timber cord has the same type of braiding for the core as EpiCord, with a flexible cover like the larger diameter Epi. The 8mm Epi has a stiff, tightly braided cover. Another nice cord, although not a big fan of the company, is the Notch Wrapstar, flexible dyneema core, and a...

The Gravity has already been invented/discovered/ originated, come up with by Sam Cooper, surprisingly it’s called the Cooper.

Looks good, I also like the brevity of your videos. Concernng the tying, I almost always start at the top and coil down. Inventing, discovering, Ashley used the term originated, which can be further qualified by stating, original to me.

The “ring” is a stiff cover from Bluewater’s Protac static rope. It stays more ring-shape than just the cord alone. By binding I mean with repeated loading and unloading and tending, the hitch starts to tighten up, becoming harder to make them slide. They all break fairly easily when...

These didn’t bind for my 145 lbs. They are all mine, including two variations of the Cornell and the Adjustable Bend. Your latest looks similar to a ring less Sticht, the hitch cord is used instead. I recently improved it by adding a piece of stiff cover to form the ring.

Was searching through the hitches I know for ones that self tend, found a few, but most would bind up with use. The right number of wraps had to be used to just grab enough to hold my weight, adding one more wrap would sometimes make it not budge at all. The field was further reduced by using...

Looks like it is a Figure 9 knot, not sure it’s in ABoK.

That is a Schwabish also, it has a half hitch tied below the wraps for a tender. Happy belated birthday!!

HRC from Treufelberger, technora and nomex cover, and a Vectran core. New England Ropes, owned by Treufel, has the similar ARC, has less nomex, replaced by polyester in the cover.
